It is the collection of letters, mostly to his wife, from a soldier in the 21st Alabama Infantry Regiment. Very interesting reading dealing with an aspect of the war that is rarely studied-blown out regiments (they were almost destroyed at the Hornet's Nest) who were then garrisoned at a major port for its protection. Another interesting tidbit is that Williams was from the North shortly before the CSA was born.Lawrence Underwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261364748415423970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-87748311632781449492007-12-19T06:56:00.000-06:002007-12-19T06:56:00.000-06:00Lawrence: Yes, Company Aytch is a book that every ...Lawrence: Yes, Company Aytch is a book that every student of the War Between the States must read at one time of another.

Another intriguing, and all together different in style, memoir of the common soldier is 'Company Aytch' by Sam Watkins. A new edition of it is just out.Lawrence Underwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261364748415423970noreply@blogger.com
